Agui Temple
阿贵庙
A Tibetan Buddhist temple built into caves deep in the Langshan Mountains, one of the few Nyingma (Red Sect) monasteries in Inner Mongolia.
Agui Temple lies in a Langshan valley in Dengkou County. It was built in the Qing dynasty, and 'Agui' means 'cave' in Mongolian. The monastery is built around several natural caves, with halls layered along the mountainside. The surrounding terrain is steep and sparsely vegetated, with a wild grandeur. It is one of the few Nyingma monasteries in Inner Mongolia. Please respect religious customs when visiting, as photography is prohibited inside most halls. It is about 6 km from the Ger Obo Gully rock paintings and can be visited on the same day. Mountain roads are narrow, so watch for falling rocks after rain.
